Material Empire

Seeing the disapproving look on Ning Mo's face, Xu Xinqun was a little surprised and a little disappointed. From Xu Xinqun's point of view, maybe Ning Mo didn't take this matter to heart, that's why he acted so indifferently, otherwise, he should at least show some embarrassment, which is a reasonable expression.

"Let's not worry about this matter. This is our bureau chief deliberately making things difficult for me. I've thought about it. At worst, the deputy bureau chief will be inappropriate." Xu Xinqun waved his hand and said to Ning Mo, "Come on, Xiao Ning, Let's drink."

Ning Mo and Xu Xinqun clinked glasses, drank, and said, "Uncle Xu, if you just want to attract 100,000 yuan of investment, there is no difficulty. Our group's investment in any year will be hundreds of millions, and 100,000 yuan is one It's a small matter. However, if you want to invest, you still need a reason, or I won't be able to tell our leaders."

"Are you really able to talk to your leaders about investment?" Xu Xinqun asked in surprise. He brought up the matter of attracting investment to Ning Mo, but he didn't intend that Ning Mo could really solve it. He just embraced some dead horses as living horses. The mentality of a doctor. But now hearing Ning Mo's meaning, it seems that there is still a little hope for this matter.

Ning Mo still didn't dare to reveal his real identity, but said: "I have a good relationship with our leader. If it's a reasonable thing, it should be helpful if I talk to him. But I need to understand first, What is there worth investing in in Hanping County, our company can't invest here out of thin air."

Although Ning Mo made up his mind to help Xu Xinqun, he still had at least some rationality. 100,000 yuan is not a big deal to him, but if he invests it without a suitable name, I am afraid Xu Xinqun will not accept it. He needed to hear from Xu Xinqun about the situation in Hanping County in order to find a suitable investment project and invest the money in it in a legitimate way.

Of course, he also thought it over, he did this purely out of flattery to Xu Xinqun, so he couldn't use the company's money, but paid it from his personal account.

Ning Mo's request was very reasonable to Xu Xinqun, and he said, "Xiao Ning, if you can really help our county contact investment, then I will take you to the China Merchants Bureau after dinner. Talk to the people from the China Merchants Bureau in detail, and they will introduce the characteristics of our Hanping to you. Alas, I am embarrassed to say that, although I have accepted the task of attracting investment, I really don’t know much about this industry.”

Ning Mo asked: "Uncle Xu, I went to talk to the people from China Merchants, so can the investment I introduced be counted in your mission?"

"Of course it's my task." Xu Xinqun said, "Our county has regulations, whoever contacted the project is considered the result. And let me tell you... as long as the investment is really in place, China Merchants will give you a commission Yes, at 2% of the investment amount."

When speaking of the last few sentences, Xu Xinqun lowered his voice a little, almost speaking in Ning Mo's ear.

"Let's avoid this..." Ning Mo sweated profusely. It's too funny to invest here by yourself and then get a commission.

After dinner, Lu Jingfang went back to work, Xu Xinqun went to his unit to say hello, and then took Ning Mo to China Merchants. Hearing that Xu Xinqun had actually found an investor from out of town, Wang Zhuo, director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, was very surprised and asked Xu Xinqun to question him. Work, and a little real power. Hearing this, Wang Zhuowen's face turned red and white. As for what was in his heart, Xu Xinqun didn't bother to figure it out.

Ning Mo followed Xu Xinqun to the China Merchants Bureau and came to the business department. Hearing that there were investors coming, Ma Yiping, the head of the business department, came out to greet them in person, brought Xu Xinqun and Ning Mo to the negotiation room, invited them to sit down, and called for tea and cigarettes for them with great fanfare. It was very grand.

Taking advantage of this short period of time, Ning Mo took a rough look at the negotiation room, and found that the furnishings in it were quite elegant, and the sofa under his buttocks was also made of genuine leather, which was soft to the touch and looked a bit classy.

Xu Xinqun saw what Ning Mo was thinking, and whispered, "Xiao Ning, this negotiation room is the best meeting room in our county, and it cost a lot of money to decorate. Our county magistrate said that it is for Investors left a good impression, if there were no investors, this room would never be opened."

"But I don't think this room has been used a few times." Ning Mo also commented in a low voice. The furniture in the room can still smell some formaldehyde, which is obviously not used often.

Xu Xinqun smiled wryly, "How can we have so much investment in such a small inland county? I heard that in the first half of this year, there were only six or seven proposals discussed, and I'm afraid not even one can be negotiated in the end."

"So that's it." Ning Mo knew it in his heart.

At this time, a beautiful female staff came in with two cups of tea. She put the tea on the tea table next to Xu Xinqun and Ning Mo, and said softly, "Mr. Ning, Section Chief Xu, please drink some tea."

"Thank you." Ning Mo nodded to the girl and thanked her.

"You're welcome." The girl blushed slightly, probably because she had never been treated so politely by a guest. The investors who have been to China Merchants in the past are either rough nouveau riche, or liars who are superficially arty but actually play empty-handed white wolves. Such a polite look.

Seeing Ning Mo's demeanor, Xu Xinqun liked this young man a little more in his heart.

"Mr. Xu, you haven't introduced me yet. Where did this Mr. Ning get rich?" Ma Yiping asked Xu Xinqun in a pretentious manner. The officials in the small county town kept their heads down all day long, and they were familiar with each other. In the past, Ma Yiping didn't care much about Xu Xinqun, but this time, seeing that Xu Xinqun was able to bring an investor, he spoke with a bit of intimacy.

"This is the brother of my daughter's classmate, who works in Shannan Province." Xu Xinqun replied according to the caliber he had made with Ning Mo before.

"Are you Section Chief Ma? My name is Ning Mo, and I'm the business manager of Jintang Chemical Materials Group Company in Shannan Province. I'm good friends with Uncle Xu's daughter, Xu Xiaoqi." Ning Mo said to Ma Yiping in a carefree tone. When the Daqin Group was established, more than a dozen provincial and ministerial-level leaders and dozens of bureau-level leaders were present at the ceremony. Ning Mo didn't feel timid in front of these people. Ma Yiping was just a small department-level cadre, so Ning Mo naturally didn't Take him seriously.

Ning Mo's inadvertent domineering made Ma Yiping feel a little depressed. He said with a smile: "So it's Manager Ning, I'm sorry. I didn't hear the Jintang group you mentioned just now. Your group What kind of business is it mainly for, I don’t know how big it is.”

Ning Mo said: "Our group is called Jintang Chemical Materials Group. Currently, we have eight chemical companies under it, and we will build a few more in the future. As for our scale, let me tell you something, Fuhe's 70X Institute, I recently negotiated a business with the US military, which is to export body armor to the United States. The raw materials for these body armor are all provided by our company.”

The export of body armor by 70X is not a secret. After the first batch of body armor arrived in the United States, several domestic newspapers reported the matter. Although the newspaper did not clearly state which production unit it was, in Tongjiang Province, anyone with a little knowledge knew that it was produced by a subsidiary company of 70X Institute. Ning Mo told Ma Yiping about this, in order to use the name of 70X Institute to prove his strength.

Sure enough, Ma Yiping also knew about the body armor. Hearing that Ning Mo's company was the company that provided raw materials for body armor for 70X, his eyes brightened immediately. Everyone in Tongjiang Province knows how bullish 70X is, and companies that can provide cooperation to 70X are naturally powerful.

"Oh, it turned out to be like this. It seems that I am really a frog at the bottom of the well." Ma Yiping smiled all over his face. He picked up Hongtashan cigarettes from the coffee table beside him, popped two out, handed them forward, and said, "Manager Ning, please smoke. Old Xu, you smoke too."

Ning Mo knew how to smoke, he took the cigarette handed over by Ma Yiping, pressed the lighter, lit Xu Xinqun's cigarette first, and then lit himself. Xu Xinqun graciously accepted Ning Mo's respectful expression. In his heart, he already regarded Ning Mo as a promising junior. In front of outsiders, he deliberately put on an elder face so that Ma Yiping Such people are envious of him.

As a cadre of China Merchants Bureau, Ma Yiping still has this insight. He saw Ning Mo's respect for Xu Xinqun, and he also saw the pride in Xu Xinqun's heart, so he followed the other party's mind and smiled and said: "Old Xu, it's better for you, you gave birth to such a promising daughter. It’s really enviable to have such amazing friends.”

"What's the matter, Xiao Ning...these are all from my family." Xu Xinqun boasted brazenly.

If it was someone else who dared to put on airs like this in front of Ning Mo, Ning Mo would have changed his face a long time ago. But Xu Xinqun spoke like this, but Ning Mo could only bear it, and he still felt a little happy in his heart. He thought it over, anyway, he came to China Merchants Bureau to save face for Xu Xinqun, he would do whatever Xu Xinqun felt happy about, isn't everything for Xiaoqi on the other side of the ocean?

Thinking of this, Ning Mo also brought a smile on his face. He took a puff of cigarette, knocked the cigarette butt on the ashtray, and then said to Ma Yiping: "Uncle Xu said that our Hanping County is attracting investment. The group also has some investment intentions, and if it is suitable, it can also invest some funds in Hanping County. However, I don’t know much about the investment attraction environment in Hanping County now, can Section Chief Ma introduce it to me?”
